We still have COBOL and C (not C++) programs that have to be modded. There is still a lot of COBOL out there and they are writing more.
My last job was converting a Client-Server system back to COBOL/CICS/IDMS due to performance issues.
Every programmer in India is required to learn COBOL.
I’m on a project right now that is converting a FORTRAN program. :)
I was in a music store here in Louisville when I first moved here and, after talking to another older customer in the store, found out he was in upper management at Humana. When he discovered my history he mentioned that they were considering bringing in some old COBOL programmers to train the younger people in COBOL because they still need it but nobody is learning it.
I had just been hired for another job that week so I declined. In hindsight, I should have looked into it. I have a teaching background as well, and it could have been a great opportunity, I suspect.
